Pomegranate is a deciduous fruit bearing tree native to the Mediterranean Middle East, now cultivated in many subtropical regions of the world and dating back several thousand years. The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is mentioned prominently in the bible. Its brilliant red seed pulp when pressed, releases a juice that is treasured for both its delicious taste and rich content of antioxidant phenolics. UCLA in 2006 lead Allan Pantuck, MD, associate professor of urology suggested that consuming 8 ounces of pomegranate juice on a daily basis may slow the progression of prostate cancer. While pomegranate is not considered a cure, Pantuck remarked, “There are a lot of reasons to recommend it and not a lot of reasons to avoid it.” Books recently published on pomegranate suggest that the fruit is good for everything from high cholesterol and diabetes to prostate and breast cancer. This is due to the powerful phytochemicals found in pomegranate particularly the antioxidant phenolic group punicalagins discovered in the aril pulp. These antioxidants are the subject of 35 medical research studies conducted since 1990. |
